It’s almost time for a new season of The Bachelorette, which will premiere on Monday, July 11. This time, the show will have not only one, but two leads: Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey, who were Clayton Echard’s co-runner-ups in The Bachelor 2021. 

Windey and Recchia won fan’s hearts after both of them were, to put it nicely, fooled by Echard’s mess in the final episodes. A quick recap for those who didn’t watch the season: he thought he was in love with three women, told them that, slept with two (Rachel and Gabby, BTW) and then decided to go after the other finalist, Susie Evans, who dumped him in Iceland and then called him back. 

Nevertheless, during the After the Rose special, it was announced that both Rachel and Gabby were going to be the leads for Season 19 of The Bachelorette, as they, of course, deserved better. So, here check out everything you need to know about Gabby: her age, job, education, and more.
